So I got a Jury Summons for yesterday a few weeks ago. I went, sat around for a couple of hours and ultimately was selected to be a juror (one of six) on a Theft trial. So I showed up at 9:00 this morning as instructed, sat around for almost another hour, and then was led into the courtroom by the bailff along with my other five partner jurors. Immediately the defense attorney made a motion to wave trial-by-jury and go straight to a trial-by-judge. “Thank you very much, go home” I was told. What an anti-climax. After the pain of waiting around to be selected or not, and having never served before, I was sort of interested in hearing the case. Oh well.
